ΖίΠΗ²ΚΏͺ½±βs Well-Being for All Initiative
Starting October 1, 2024, all support staff, professionals and managers can use up to four hours of work time every month for well-being and building community. This is part of the Collegeβs commitment to our core value of well-being for all. Faculty members are, of course, welcome to participate in any activity that takes place outside their teaching responsibilities.
In general, it could be said that well-being activities bring colleagues together and promote community. These activities could also include some of the following elements:
- feature physical exercise
- help us connect with colleagues
- help us connect to Nature
Some examples include:
- participating in a free Campus Recreation activity (limited space; first come, first served)
- attending presentations organized by programs and departments
- participating in Sustainable ΖίΠΗ²ΚΏͺ½± activities
- volunteering for ΖίΠΗ²ΚΏͺ½± Dininβ or Early Bird Breakfast
- creating/joining any of the groups that will be springing up. Some ideas could be a meditation group, a birdwatching club, or drop-in art activity, playing music
More information will be provided by Human Resources. In the meantime, if you have ideas for a well-being activity, please contact Human Resources. They can provide guidance and support. Email:Β wellbeing@dawsoncollege.qc.ca
βThe idea is to help colleagues be active and keep learning at work and make connections with members of the ΖίΠΗ²ΚΏͺ½± community,β said Director General Diane Gauvin. βHealthier employees and a stronger ΖίΠΗ²ΚΏͺ½± community will make life better for us all.β
